I've put 10 days on my legacy-r and at this point it is the best board I've ever owned. It's stable at any speed and holds edges on any terrain. Having owned top of the line boards from burton, lib-tech, arbor, K2 and others I can say that the rocker that Never Summer has put in on their boards is the most significant improvement I have seen in snowboard development in the past 5 years. The fact that Never Summer gives a 3 year warranty can't be over looked either. I went back and forth between this and Lib Tech's skunk ape and it was Never Summer's warranty that sold me. I loved my old Lib Tech but it was dead after a season and a half. With the rocker keeping your nose and tail up you can go down a size and not get bogged down in powder. Or you can keep the same size and hit powder like you were on a larger board, which is what I would recommend.
